rhizophagy
'Rhizophagy' , or 'rhizophagy symbiosis', is a cyclic process whereby plants obtain nutrients from bacteria that alternate between a root intracellular endophytic phase and a free-living soil phase. Bacteria acquire soil nutrients in the free-living soil phase; nutrients are extracted from bacteria oxidatively in the intracellular endophytic phase.
Plants obtain nutrients through consumption of symbiotic microbes in roots in the process of rhizophagy.
